6 notices published in week ending May 20 by Federal Reserve System

There were six notices published by the Federal Reserve System in week ending May 20, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Formations of, Acquisitions by, and Mergers of Bank Holding Companies, was submitted on May 19, 2023.

The Federal Reserve System published two the week before, marking a 200 percent increase.

The Federal Reserve is the US's central bank, expanding many times during great financial uncertainty and panic. It has faced numerous criticisms since its creation in 1913, such as making the Great Depression worse and for lacking transparency and audits.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
